Strange and vain, Have any creatures thought of Lincoln hid In any vault, neath any coffin lid, In all the years since that wild Spring of pain? Tis false! He never in the grave hath lain. You could not bury him, altho you slid Upon his clay the Cheops Pyramid, Or heaped it with the rocky mountain chain. They slew themselves—they but set Lincoln free. In all the earth his great heart beats as strong— Shall beat, while pulses throb to chivalry, And burn with hate of tyranny and wrong. Whoever will, may find him anywhere Save in the tomb. Not there—He is not there. —Jas. McKay. 48. HON. JOHN MORTON ESHLEMANLieutenant Governor California HS5 H Kj Hi EO a t>d HOhj F H H COCO H Hd <! H 2Q
